Removing tightlined eyeliner

I like to tightline with a gel liner because it produces a more natural look, but I have a difficult time getting the liner out of my lashes. I currently use a Q-tip dipped in eye makeup remover but it takes a while and I hate having to tug on the skin around my eyes. Does anyone have a method that works well?

I always have the same problem! I started using Ultra Bland from Lush as a makeup remover / night time cleanser and it really works! It's really effective at taking off makeup but it's also extremely gentle so you can really rub it in and not worry about getting some in your eyes. I swear by that product now!

I use a Q-tip dipped in makeup remover too. But what I do is saturate the Q-tip with makeup remover, and put it between me eyes, close it and just run it back and forth

You could try some makeup remover cloths? I wash my face with my eyes closed and then dry afterwards I use makeup removing wipes on my eyes always wiping from the outside in and being very gentle. good luck!

Use a damp cotton pad with some make up remover or cleanser on and place it on the eye area and press gently for while this should help to break down/dissolve your eye make up making it easier to take off.

I use coconut oil to remove my makeup and I find when I rub it into my lashes it completely removes all traces of eyeliner. You just have to be really gentle so you don't irritate you eye and your lashes don't get pulled out.
